98 has it's advantages, think of it this way, you won't be affected by a lot of the newest worms that come out.
XP has plenty of features that 98 doesn't have which can either be usefull or useless depending on what you like to do on the computer.

But make sure to check if all your hardware (such as CD-RW drives or printers/scanners) support XP and/or 98 (depending on which one you choose. If you are used to Windows 2000 you should probably go with XP as you wont be seeing the same things in 98 as you do in 2000 (e.g. login screens). But if you go with 98 make sure to apply all security patches. Hope it helps

Is your whole family retarded, or did they just catch it from you?

I'd personally go with windows98Se, or maybe go with a linux platform like Debian, Red Hat, or maybe even Gentoo..
But i would suggest that maybe you might even stick with the operating system you are using at the moment, as it might suit your present needs, or you might not feel comfortable with using a different Operating System.
But what ever you choose in the end, will be the Operating System that best meet's your needs.
